Plus, Questlove, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, John Legend, and more react to the climate news

The world has reacted swiftly to the decision of our Numbskull in Chief to pull out of the Paris climate agreement. Cities and states across the country have pledged to meet their obligations under the accord regardless of what 45 thinks is best. Tesla’s Elon Musk and Disney’s Bob Iger each individually decided to leave POTUS’ business advisory council — ya know, because he didn’t take their advice. Even musicians have spoken out against the shortsighted decision to leave the Earth-first deal.

Other musicians were a bit more blunt with their criticism. John Legend called Trump “our national embarrassment.” Thor Harris, formerly of Swans, lamented the fact that Fuckface von Clownstick “decided American won’t be part of Earth anymore. Bummer.” Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong wrote a message from the planet’s perspective symbolically firing the Celebrity Dementous. Our Canadian friend Grimes tried to highlight a positive discussion about the climate decision, while reminding everyone that “pollution haze makes for very flattering lighting.”
